“It’s wrong that members of Congress would still get paid in the event of a shutdown while paychecks for members of our military could be disrupted,” Stabenow said in a statement. “This bill ensures members of Congress will not get paid and another bill I have cosponsored makes sure our troops will. Even if these bills do not pass, I will donate my salary for every single day a shutdown occurs.”

Several members of Congress have also announced individual plans to withhold their pay.

“I have been informed that despite a lapse of appropriations and current government shutdown, under current law, members of Congress would continue to receive their salary,” Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) wrote Friday in a letter to the House chief administrative officer. “Since I do not agree with that policy, please withhold my pay until an appropriations agreement has taken effect.

Rep. Will Hurd (R-Texas) also said he would withhold his pay, while Rep. John Delaney (D-Md.) said that he would donate his pay to the Mercy Health Clinic in Maryland.

There’s no good reason why Members should receive pay during a #shutdown while fed employees suffer. That’s why I plan to ask that my salary be withheld while we work to restore government funding. Please know that during this time my team and I are still working to serve #TX23. pic.twitter.com/3xVP2CPlVm
